this is what I was talking about on my last picture that involved dora and dominique......... but just incase you don't remember (and don't want to go back and look for the pic :( I copied the backgound info for these two (not the kid on the ground, he's dominique's mean friend)

dora westley, (the one holding the charmander) if kasame represents my raising pokemon side, then dora represents my battling side! she's the one who continued to train (the only region that she hasn't been to is sinnoh) I'll post her team in a minute, she and kasame have been best friends since kasame set out as a pokemon trainer!
backround: dora was born and raised in viridian city, being this close to the indigo league, she always wanted to be a trainer. she got her first pokemon, a charmander, when she was 9. her family was on vacation in fushia (forgive my horrible spelling) city for the safari zone. when dora came across two kids messing with a charmander, one had a squirtle with him, and the other one was throwing rocks. dora marched right up, knocked one of them down and yelled at the boy with the squirtle, he apologized and said his name was dominique (so the squirtle was duke!) they became good friends after that.later as dora's family was leaving to go home, dominique said he'd come to visit dora sometime. he did, very often! as time went on, they both grew up dora and dominique started dating, everything was fine until one day, dom's attitude got dora upset and she yelled a dom. when he got home, he had no where to take out his fustrations, and, for the first time he started beating his pokemon. later after dora had cooled down, she went to dom's apartment to make peace, but when she saw what dominique had done she quickly broke up with him. (for the rest see dom's story further down) dora continued her life as a trainer collecting all the badges she could, of course she missed dominique, but her pride stopped her from going back and trying to help him.

dominique mitchelson: (squirtle kid XDD) dom is supposed to be "my darker side" back in pokemon blue version, when I really didn't care what happened to my pokemon. I would use cheats to get tons of rare candies, and high level pokemon
backround: growing up in the slums of kanto with his older brother JB, dominique was exposed to all the worst life had to offer, from abusive parents, gangs in his neighborhood, and illegal drug trading. most of his early life was just torture, until one day one of dom's friends found a charmander to "play with" the charmander was extremely friendly and didn't fight back, even when they started hitting him, and out of nowhere a girl appeared, yelling that you shouldn't go out and pick on pokemon like that. dom's friend ran off with a bump on his head and left dom there to deal with it, dominique, unable to think of what to do, apologized and said he wouldn't ever do that again, (the rest is in dora's story up until....) after dora broke up with dom, it sent him into a mix of anger and depression, when he wasn't getting high (or drunk) he was out battling, when he won he would celebrate, when he lost he would take it out on his pokemon, on that went for several years, until one day he met kasame, she battled and rescued all of dom's pokemon, and had dominique arrested. about a year went by, then dora heard of dom being in jail kyla and dora went to go talk to him. there I will leave it at that, for now... I have some more pics about this that I will post later (with more of the story)
